Weapons, words, and code - all means of changing reality. All, however, are sharp tools in that not only can they turn in your hands, but they'll do exactly what you tell them to - even if that's not what you meant.

Salt and Asbestos

So this other monkey brought in grasshoppers. In a baggie. For snacks. They appear to be smoked. He claimed they were like 'salty raisins.' After trying one, I can state that they are, in fact salty - but are like raisins only in the texture, in that 'there are now strange awful-grtty-between-the-teeth-objects-in-my-mouth' sort of way. Plus, they taste like overworked (read: burnt) brake pads tend to smell.
